the pictures don't show it, but he does have a nose. I painstakingly put him together piece by piece with paper. my fingers were killing me by the time I was done. but it was worth it.

for those who may not know, the reason why his face guard opens on the card is because in the movie, whenever he speaks, his lifts up his face guard, I guess so he can be heard better or something. but he does open it up, so I had to do the same for the card.

that's one great thing about Harmonix Music Systems/MTV Games/Electronic Arts coming out with The Beatles: Rock Band. the background is a sample of the track list from the game that was part of a review in my game magazine. and, I did something kind of for myself with it; I made some of my favorite songs visible. (whoever makes the decision to release an artist's music on Amazon.com and iTunes needs to release The Beatles music or I'm going to have to rip my songs from my cousin's CDs). that's why I made it a point to claim The Beatles. I had the perfect things to make this card.

I've received three great ATCs in the past few days and I finally have a free moment to post them!

Troubles With Toast from SonjaBoo

I imagine the yummy toast is for the hungry people on the....

Yellow Submarine!!!! from tehbunnykins

who was kind enough to point the way with this amazing card:

and while on the Yellow Submarine the folks can look out into the ocean deep to catch a glance at....

A mermaid! from Krafty_Karasu

I love my new ATCs! Thanks so much you guys!!!

Yellow Submarine story:When I took calligraphy in college one of our last assignments was to create an image using only calligraphy. I used "We all live in a yellow submarine" to make the yellow submarine

Funny (in my crazy head) story:I was showing the mermaid card to my husband and he asked me why it was a mermaid, I told him because I have mermaids on my list, he said "yeah, but why do you have mermaids on your list?" I told him "because I like mermaids" He was confused and asked me, "You like mermaids?" .....apparently he doesn't know everything about me He knows I like fairies, but I guess I never mentioned mermaids... thats what I get for not collecting figurines

And since the other two have a story... here is a toast story:I love toast! I don't know why, but it's one of my comfort foods. I go crazy over it When my husband and I finally bought a toaster I sent him a text message picture of the first two pieces of toast I made with it... then I ate them nom nom nom!

I absolutely love my card, Krafty_karasu. The Holy Grail (and actually Monty Python in general) is one of my most favorite things!!

Holy Grail is by far my favorite of the movies. Life of Brian...*shudder*. I really didn't need a full frontal of Graham Chapman. I was looking up things from Flying Circus, but while looking through the IMDb of Monty Python and Holy Grail popped out at me. I watched it, and as soon as I saw Sir Bedevere, I knew I had to use him.

I have received this awesome card, "The Joker" (on my jokers/jesters theme) from Krafty Karasu:

There's the added bonus of it being an altered playing card. I really like that she used a joker card without an actual jester image on it and added one herself! Thanks, Krafty Karasu -- this is a really fun ATC!

I'm so glad you like it!

it just so happens that there is not one single deck of cards in this house that has an actual joker image on the joker cards! lol. and once again, Klutz rears its crafty head. the jester outfit stencils, silver star bursts, and teal sequins came from the fantasy paper fashions kit. the paper is not from that set though. so to answer your question sprinklez, I get my paper from lots of places, but mainly Hobby Lobby. Michael's has a pretty big selection, but for some reason I've found more that I like at Hobby Lobby. some (like the silver for the mask) came from a paper pad I bought at Wal-Mart. you can see texture on the black pieces for the "eye holes", so that means that came from a cardstock pad I bought at Jo-Ann. I bought a similar one with bright colors at, where else, Hobby Lobby.
